Yesterday, we went to the park with no coats, no thick sweater tights, and short sleeve shirts. We squinted our eyes at the bright sun while the balmy breeze kissed our faces. We watch as our little park that is normally reserved for just us was flocked by dozens of fellow Virginians ready to abandon winter and welcome spring with all it's fresh buds and chirping birds.
Just four days earlier we enjoyed an un-intimidating snow that covered our little corner with just enough of the white stuff to warrant a proper romping. We got just cold enough to come inside and drink hot chocolate. It was just enough winter to satisfy my winter cravings and prepare me for spring.
This is our little snowman that we made. Libby named him Snowman. We watch him out of kitchen window all day.
By the next morning all that was left was a puddle, and a hat, and a scarf, and a carrot, and two black eyes.
VA is a weird place. It was winter on Monday, spring on Friday, and somewhere in between today.
I'm hoping that spring is going to push through and stay for a while. I'm ready to see green on the trees and shoes that don't require thick socks.
Grace and Peace
xoxo

Libby has such a good imagination I'm surprised the snowman was called Snowman!
Do hope the spring weather continues and winter is definitely over.
